This is my last night at my current condo unit on the second floor of View Talay 2A in Jomtien Thailand. The place has been great, but unfortunately I was only able to book this room for one month as another tenant is coming in next week. All in all, the condo has been a great value. Cost breakdown below
Condo rented through dancewatchers.com (their office is on the ground floor of View Talay 2A)
- 15,000 baht rent for the month
- 4,000 baht for maid service (was good, but in retrospect probably didn’t need it)
- 650 electric – barely used the aircon because it was a bit cool in december
- 200 water
Total – 19850 baht for one month – December 8 to January 8
6000 deposit – got 1150 baht back after maid, electric and water was deducted
Pluses in no particular order
- Room safe
- Location – couple minutes away from Jomtien beach and the condo was right on the main road to Pattaya (baht buses run right outside)
- Friendly security guards
- A guard cat – friendly cat that hangs out by the front gate guard
- Pool – looked nice, but never used it
- Tons of facilities on the ground floor, condo/apartment rental brokers, laundry, restaurants, market
Minuses
- No real minuses for the condo building itself
- Specific to room – don’t leave any food lying around !!! There are mites and ants roaming about… probably because of the numerous restaurants on the ground floor.
- Minor minus, 2nd floor view is mostly obscured by trees. However, the slight rustling sound during a breeze is quite nice.
- Balcony slightly cramped
- Hallways echo.. a lot
- Walls are slightly thin, I couldn’t do podcast/YouTube videos for fear of disturbing neighbors
